Yorkies and a hospital appointment


My wife had an appointment at Moffitt Hospital this morning. I went with her. I read my Nook Book while she got the first part of her appointment done, a bone density check. I got sleepy while reading my Nook. It became read a while, doze off, wake up, read a while, doze off … etc.

At one point I kind of woke up and saw a stroller with two small dogs in front of me. A man was talking to a woman, who sat in a chair to my left. The man talked about Yorkies, which, apparently, the little dogs were. The woman talked about pugs and that she had a standard poodle. I thought that was interesting, since my wife and I have a standard poodle. I decided that when Yorkie Man left, I would talk to the woman about standard poodles. I dozed off again.

A time later, I heard my wife ask, “Are you awake?” I was. She said the second part of her appointment was at 1:15. The now time was 11:25. She asked if I wanted to get lunch at the sandwich shop on first floor. I said, “That sounds good.” Then I said, “You missed the man with the Yorkies.” I said that the woman he was talking to had a standard poodle.

My wife got that wife-patient look on her face and the smile that goes with the look. She said, “You were sound asleep, and I didn’t want to wake you up.”

Okay, I thought. Then: "Oh." Then: "I was going to talk to the other woman about standard poodles."
